Beer: Reviews & Ratings

This is a pleasant and straight forward brown ale. This is as close to Newcastle Brown as you can get. Like most Yukon brews, it pours with minimal head and steady carbonation. The mouthfeel is pleasant, with a bit of caramel malt and nuttiness. This is drinkable and definitely sessionable, but not necessarily memorable. (322 characters)

M fairly light but it adds to the drinkability, the bubbles work well giving it almost a creamy feel and some almond on the finish

O looks pretty basic but pretty solid otherwise, I'm not saying the Earths going to move for ya but shes a respectable brown

I think I just wanted a reason to revisit Midnight Sun and Lead Dog and the new sample 6er from Yukon gave me the chance. Sleek black 6er just looks bad ass, no regrets buying this one (877 characters)

341ml bottle, with one strange hippy-esque, silver-tinted label. Part of one light-sucker of a mixed six-pack.

This beer pours a clear, very dark red-tinged amber hue, with one finger of loosely foamy, somewhat bubbly ecru head, which leaves but a low ebbing shoreline of lace around the glass as it quickly recedes.

The carbonation is generally on the soft and lilting side, the body medium-light in weight, and mostly smooth, a slight acerbic twinge tugging at the fringes. It finishes off-dry, the nutty, bready malt sloughing off any lingering hoppiness.

An agreeable enough English brown ale, the malt up to the task, the ancillary characteristics well-rendered, and the hops kept to the legal (micro-brew) level. A very old-world approach - simple, drinkable, and worthy of a least another round or so. (1,084 characters)

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a dark mahogany brown with a thin light brown head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of bready and light caramel malt, brown bread, nuts, hint of vanilla. Flavor follows aroma with light caramel malt, nuts, brown bread. Light to medium bodied. A nice light brown ale, resembling an English brown. Flavors are a bit attenuated but pleasant, also similar to an English style ale. Hoping for a bit more flavor intensity, but a good light session brown ale as is. (520 characters)
